Joe Pyfer vs. Marc-Andre Barriault

Joe Pyfer vs. Marc-Andre Barriault

This pick comes down to whether or not you think Joe Pyfer is the fraud from Philly. I know thats a harsh thing to say but the reality is that he looked horrible in his last fight. He has a ton of power, but thats it. There was no creativity in his offense, no backup...
Ricky Simon vs. Vinicius Oliveira

Ricky Simon vs. Vinicius Oliveira

I came into this breakdown expecting to fade Ricky. I have been watching this sport long enough to know its very hard for some of these guys to rebound after a handful of losses at the top. Ricky Simon was very good, on a 5 fight win streak and likely a win away from...

Andre Arlovski vs. Martin Buday

Andre Arlovski vs. Martin Buday

Charles Joudain vs. Jean Silva

Charles Joudain vs. Jean Silva

This should be a fun fight between two guys who take chances and prefer to strike. But if I'm Charles' coach, i tell him to make this as boring as possible. He will not win a striking match here. He needs to lean on Jean against the cage, he needs to take away space...
Muhammad Naimov vs. Felipe Lima

Muhammad Naimov vs. Felipe Lima

When I saw Naimov had a short notice opponent who is a UFC debut, I was surprised to see the odds were so close. But then you do a bit of tape study and it starts to make sense. Naimov is a big guy who can land power and work in wrestling, but he will be slower here...
